FACT or FICTION: Those who obsess over GGG not moving up in weight...

[VERSION1 (V1)]

The same people that wanted 3G to move up to 175lbs were the same people Ironically saying Mayweather was too small for 154lbs this is what they said to make sure their hero would not fight Erislandy Lara, Floyd ducked Lara and the Cuban boxing school all because of the lies of being too small even though he fought at 154lbs three times before and needed an IV to re-hydrate to make 147lbs for Pacman.

and the same people who wanted Mayweather to dare to be great in fight GGG at 160 don't want GGG to move up at all

We wanted the fight at 154lbs it's a weight we know Floyd can make too bad he is too much of a coward to fight him, I think Floyd knew GGG would have KOed him relatively easily shows how good GGG is.

So it's about money now?

I thought it was about respecting the sport, collecting belts, and legacy?

You are a bit late kid. All everybody cares about in this sport is money, nobody fights for respect anymore

Just to clarify - there was never a conversation about Golovkin vs. Floyd at 160. Golovkin has ALWAYS stated that he would goto 154 lbs for Floyd Mayweather.

No ifs or buts.

[OnePunch]

Neither one. People who dislike Golovkin will b1tch and moan about whatever is available. Since he hasn't fought Lara, they'll say that he's ducking Lara, since he hasn't fought Ward, they'll complain about Ward, since he didn't automatically say he'll goto 155 for Canelo, they'll complain about weight, since he didn't move up, they're asking him to move up.. Blah blah.

If he passed on the Brook fight and fought Khurtsidze it would be "he's fighting another MW no name that division sucks btw he ducked Kell Brook who was calling him out. Lil G is afraid of WWs".

They're a bunch of b1tches who need something to whine about. I personally could not care less about what.

maybe you wanted it at 154 but other want it at 160 and said Floyd should do it so he could win the 160 title and dare to be great but now they don't want GGG to move up and dare to be great

not talk what GGG said but people wanted Floyd to move up to 160 instead of 154 and dare to be great

Who are these 'people'? I've always seen posters on NSB and Golovkin's team talk about 154 for Floyd. 160 was never substantiated by anyone.

Did you see one or two trolls (Floyd haters) call him a coward say he should move up to 160, and extrapolated that to the rest of the population?

If you aren't as dense and ****** as your comment makes it seem, you need to go read the concept of opportunity cost. It can be both about money and belts simultaneously. The only reason GGG has to move up is if he gets "**** you" money. None of the 168 lbs can offer that, so GGG has no reason to move up from his natural weight class. He can make both more name and money sitting in 160 as it is a more luxurious division and with more lucrative offers.

His UK exposure has been successful and he should be making good money against both BJS and Eubank in UK while retaining his belts. Only an idiot would move up in weight when the future in MW is looking brighter.

TRUE

boxers only move up in weight when they can no longer make the weight they were used to making, and for $$$. all that "move up for legacy" talk is strictly for the fanboys who never got punched in the face in the ring

none of those options present themselves for GGG at the moment. /thread

Why should GGG dare to be great when Floyd never done the same?

GGG has essentially said he will only move up on the same grounds as Floyd and that is for a good payday which would likely be possible against Ramirez, DeGale and a Carl Froch.

We know Golovkin will fight above his natural weight limit and remain there unlike Floyd who only ever moved up in weights because his body could no longer make it then the forced move up in weights against easy opposition who were either past their best or too green or drained in weight to make it possible of happening.
